santa fe is beijing hyundai's flagship suv, and like toyota highlander and volkswagen tiguan l, it is positioned as a mid-size suv. but objectively speaking, santa fe does have a big gap with highlander and tiguan l in terms of market performance.

however, all this may change with the launch of the fifth-generation santa fe.

at the 2024 chengdu auto show, which opened on august 30, beijing hyundai's fifth-generation santa fe, the 2024 model, was officially launched, with five models priced between 195,800 and 268,800 yuan. compared with the current models, the price of the 2024 santa fe has been reduced across the board, and the exterior design is also completely new. the new car has changed the rounded design style of santa fe and instead adopted a "square box" shape similar to an off-road vehicle, which looks very imposing. on the front center grille, a through-type daytime running light connects the h-shaped headlights on both sides, which is both technologically advanced and recognizable.

from the side, the 2024 santa fe has sharp lines and a square body, which is quite similar to the range rover. the roof is equipped with a luggage rack, and the b/c/d pillars are also smoked black to create a floating roof effect. the c-pillar is also equipped with a rock climbing handle that can hold up to 200 kilograms. the large multi-spoke wheels also add a sense of luxury to the whole vehicle.

the taillight design of the new car echoes the headlight design, and also adopts the h shape, with a black decorative strip connecting them. because there are logo and english logos on the top, the taillight is relatively low. the length, width and height are 4830/1900/1770 (1780) mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2815 mm.

the new car also adopts a new design style for the interior, which gives people a sense of simplicity and refinement. the four-spoke steering wheel, electronic hand-shift gearshift and hidden air-conditioning vents are all refreshing. except for the entry-level model, the other four models are equipped with dual 12.3-inch large screens.

functions such as 4g network, ota upgrade, carplay, mobile phone app remote control, l2 level assisted driving, leather steering wheel, bluetooth key, electric trunk, front and rear radar and adaptive high and low beam are standard for all models.

as for the mid-to-high-end models, the configuration is even richer. voice continuous recognition, hud head-up display, automatic and remote parking, nfc/uwb digital key, ventilation, heating and massage, second-row zero-gravity seats, rear sunshades and privacy glass, the 2024 santa fe is also equipped for you.

as for the seat layout, although the official versions launched are 5-seater and 6-seater models, the 5-seater model can be equipped with an optional 2+3+2 7-seat layout to meet the car needs of more consumers.

in terms of power, all models are equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine, matched with an 8-speed manual transmission. the maximum power is 182 kilowatts and the maximum torque is 353 nm, which is slightly higher than the current model.

the four-wheel drive version is also equipped with off-road and snow modes, giving the 2024 santa fe a certain degree of off-road capability. it is worth mentioning that, in addition to the entry-level model, the two-wheel drive version can be equipped with four-wheel drive function, and can also realize the functions of off-road and snow modes.

overall, the 2024 santa fe launched this time, on the premise of a price reduction, has been comprehensively upgraded in many aspects such as interior and exterior design, technological configuration, and power, which will definitely further enhance santa fe's competitiveness among models of the same level.
